268. Chapter 260 Xu Zhuxian's New Year's Money



That night, Song Yi, Xin Minjing and Le Xiyi were rushed to Suwon Asia University Hospital for treatment. In the end, Le Xiyi died in the hospital due to his serious injuries.

After receiving the notification from the hospital, the two elderly people, Le Dianren and his wife in Seoul, almost fainted.

Zheng Jinhui also got the news, and she found it incredible. Le Xiyi had just been taken away by the National Intelligence Service for investigation, and before the investigation was over, the news of Le Xiyi's death came. Even if Song Yi wanted to take revenge on Le Xiyi, there was no need to be so anxious, right?

Zheng Jinhui instructed her assistant, "Please contact Professor Le. I am going to the hospital to pay my respects to Le Xiyi. If Professor Le needs it, I can help him invite American criminal investigation experts to intervene in Le Xiyi's case. If the case involves official dereliction of duty or revenge, I will definitely seek justice for them and investigate to the end."

Le Dianren received a condolence call from Zheng Jinhui. He suppressed his grief but declined Zheng Jinhui's proposal. "Thank you for your kindness, Representative Zheng. I have watched the complete video provided by the National Intelligence Service. Xi Yi's death was just an accident and there is no need for police intervention. We will hold Xi Yi's funeral at Suwon Asia University Hospital. Now is the time to pay attention to the dead, so let's not make such a fuss anymore."

Le Xiyi's mother Cui was very angry. "I only have Xiyi as a son. His murder is obviously related to Song Yi."

"Why did the meeting room happen to have the key to the handcuffs, why did Xi Yi attack Song Yi like a madman, why was there a missing part in the surveillance in the meeting room, all these need to be investigated by the police. Song Yi is now all-powerful in South Korea. Whether it is the Blue House, the court, the procuratorate or the police, they are all Song Yi's people. Without the strong intervention of outsiders, we have no way to clear Xi Yi's grievances, and he would really have died in vain." Cui said.

Le Dianren had not lost his mind at this time, "It's really a woman's opinion. Do you think Zheng Jinhui really wants to help us out of kindness? Xi Yi was used by her and ended up dying young."

"Didn't you hear what the doctor said? Minjing is pregnant now, and our Le family has not yet been cut off. We two old people are over 60 years old and won't live for many more years. Of course we are not afraid of Song Yi's revenge. But I have already lost a son, I can't lose Xiyi's unborn son, right?" Le Dianren said helplessly.

After hearing what Le Dianren said, Cui felt even more aggrieved. "According to you, Xi Yi's death was in vain, and we have to watch Song Yi get away with it? I can't swallow this!"

Le Dianren said, "You have to swallow it even if you can't. The situation is stronger than you are now. You have also seen the surveillance video. From the beginning to the end, Xi Yi was strangling Song Yi's neck, trying to strangle Song Yi to death. Song Yi was almost strangled to death."

"Later, the joint investigation team fired warning shots. Song Yi was still fighting with his son on the ground at the time. If the gunman hadn't aimed correctly, the bullet would have very likely hit Song Yi. Song Yi is worth billions of dollars. Rich people are afraid of death, and the richer they are, the more they fear death. Although Song Yi and Xi Yi have some grudges, it's not a grudge of killing his father or stealing his wife, and it's not to the point of killing someone. He wouldn't risk getting shot to frame Xi Yi, would he?" Le Dianren said.

Cui admitted that what Le Dianren said made some sense. "It's true, but it's too coincidental. Li Guangxue was detained in Anyang Prison before. When he was out for exercise, he was suffocated to death with a plastic bag by a fellow prisoner. Later, the prisoner was diagnosed with mental illness, and finally fell to his death from a height while receiving treatment in a mental hospital."

"No matter who offends Song Yi, someone will die in the end. One case can be said to be a coincidence. Combined with Xi Yi's case, do you really believe that this was an accident?" Cui asked back.

Le Dianren sighed. He knew that there were still some doubts about Le Xiyi's death, but unfortunately, these doubts could not be pointed to Song Yi.

"If I didn't have this baby in Minjing's belly, I would take a rope and hang myself in front of Song Yi's house tonight, and then write the words 'Blood debt paid with blood' on the outer wall of their house to avenge Xiyi."

"The child hasn't been born yet, and Song Yuxi is in power now. Even if Zheng Jinhui comes to investigate, she won't find anything. We might as well wait until the child is born before we make plans. After all, it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge."

"From Jong Man-woo to Jong Hyo-tong, and then to Song Woo-seok, the progressives have been in power for three consecutive terms. Whether it is the Americans, conservatives, or big conglomerates like Samsung, SK, Lotte, Hanjin, and Doosan, they are all very dissatisfied with the current situation in South Korea and urgently need a conservative president to take office."

"Zheng Jinhui is now the popular choice, and the conservatives are fighting desperately. If the next president is still a progressive, the conservatives will be completely suppressed by the progressives and unable to recover. If Zheng Jinhui can win the presidential election in 2007, Xiyi and Minjing's child will be born by then. At that time, I will risk my reputation and ask the government to reinvestigate my son's case." Le Dianren was very thoughtful.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Le Xiyi's funeral was held in the mourning hall of Suwon Asia University Hospital. Le Xiyi's funeral was very low-key, and Le Dianren and his wife only invited their closest relatives and friends to attend their son Le Xiyi's funeral.

On the day of the funeral, Justice Minister Ha Mi-ae and Prosecutor General Lee Sang-dae, as colleagues in the prosecution system, appeared at the funeral of Le Seok-ik. Ha Mi-ae looked serious and expressed her condolences to Le Dian-in and his wife and Le Seok-ik's widow, Shin Min-kyung. Standing behind Lee Sang-dae was Lee Won, Le Seok-ik's colleague at the Suwon Prosecutor's Office.

Ha Mi-ae and Le Seok-ik had a duel, and Ha Mi-ae won in the end. Ha Mi-ae sent Le Seok-ik from the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office to the Suwon Prosecutor's Office as the chief prosecutor.

Lee Sang-dae originally became the Prosecutor General from the Chief Prosecutor of the Seoul Central Prosecutors' Office. Le Seok-ik originally wanted to follow Lee Sang-dae's old path, but who knew that he would encounter suppression from Ha Mi-ae.

Lee Sang-dae, the old fox, seems to be impartial on the surface, and now he is related to Song Woo-seok. Le Seok-yi now has two big mountains above him, Ha Mi-ae and Lee Sang-dae, and there is no hope for career advancement.

With no hope for a career, Le Xiyi had no choice but to cling to Zheng Jinhui's thigh. It happened that Park Zhenhuan handed the recording of Xia Meiai and Song Yi to Le Xiyi. Le Xiyi thought he had Xia Meiai's handle and fought hard for the position, but ended up like this.

Le Dianren felt that Xia Meiai and Li Xiangda were also involved in Le Xiyi's death, but he still maintained superficial politeness and thanked Xia Meiai and Li Xiangda for their condolences.

Cui and Xin Minjing have very different attitudes towards Xia Meiai. Cui is not very good to Xia Meiai, while Xin Minjing is quite warm to Xia Meiai, and seems to have forgotten the feud between Xia Meiai and her late husband Le Xiyi.

Xia Meiai and her group also knew that they were not welcomed by Le Xiyi's family, so they left the mourning hall after a brief condolence. Song Yi was still recuperating in Suwon Asia University Hospital, and they had to visit Song Yi again. Li Yuan's wife Song Jingyan had already arrived at the ward in advance and was waiting for Xia Meiai and her group to join them.

Song Jingyan sat in front of the ward and helped Song Yi peel an apple. "This is a local apple from Qingsong County, North Gyeongsang Province. I brought it from Seoul specially. You can try it first."

Song Yi, wearing a hospital gown, took the apple and took a bite. He felt that it was not as delicious as the Qixia apples from Shandong Province. Korean agricultural products emphasize the unity of body and land, and Korean people are healthier when eating food produced in their own country.

In fact, the concept of "body and land are one" is a way for the Korean Agricultural Cooperatives to increase the prices of fruits, vegetables and meat produced by Korean local agriculture. Korean local food is not healthier or more nutritious than imported food, at most it is fresher, which is actually a tax on IQ. This is why the price of Korean beef is much higher than imported beef.

Song Yi took the apple and took a bite. "Thank you. Why didn't Li Yuan come with you?"

Song Jingyan obviously didn't like Le Xiyi. "Didn't your father-in-law go to Le Xiyi's funeral? Li Yuan is Le Xiyi's colleague after all, so he should go there to show up, right? You're staying in the hospital during the Chinese New Year. Don't you plan to spend the Spring Festival with your family?"

Song Yi is actually fine, he just needs to stay in the hospital for a few days to relax. Kim Hee-won took Song Won-joo and her brother to England, and Kim Tae-hee just returned to Ulsan to spend the New Year with her family. She was going to come to the hospital to take care of Song Yi, but Song Yi persuaded her to stay in Ulsan for a few more days and return to Seoul after he was discharged from the hospital. This year's Spring Festival was a bit lonely for Song Yi, without any family members around him.

Song Yi's side was a bit deserted, but Yan Jing's side was quite lively. Li Jingshu brought Jessica Jung, Krystal Jung and Seo Ju-hyun to Lijing Garden to celebrate the Spring Festival.

Song Miao was very happy to see Xu Zhuxian and Zheng Xiujing, and they hugged each other as soon as they met. Zhou Shulan and Liao Yu, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, served as the host and warmly entertained Xu Zhuxian and her group at Lijing Garden. Xu Zhuxian had a New Year's Eve dinner full of the flavor of the New Year at Lijing Garden.

Xu Zhuxian was in Yanjing, and she did not forget to call Song Yi to wish him a happy new year. Xu Zhuxian said to Song Yi in a clear and melodious voice: "Brother Song Yi, congratulations on your prosperity, give me the red envelope!"

Song Yi was amused by Xu Zhuxian at the time, "Did Miaomiao teach you this sentence? Is Miaomiao next to you?"

Song Miao answered the phone, full of grievance, "Uncle, you used to spend the New Year with us every year. This year you were not at home, and I didn't receive the New Year's money you gave me."

Song Yi really loves Song Miao. "Miao Miao, this year mom gave you New Year's money on my behalf. Do you still want another New Year's money from me?"

Song Miao immediately found an excuse, "Uncle, I'm not asking for it for myself, I'm asking for it for Sister Zhuxian. She spent the Spring Festival in Korea before, didn't you also give her New Year's money?"

In the end, Song Yi couldn't resist Song Miao and Xu Zhuxian's begging, and agreed to give them another red envelope.

After all, Song Jingyan had worked in China for two years and was well aware of the Chinese social system. IDG Capital itself was a top investment institution in the mainland, and the period around the Spring Festival was actually Song Jingyan's busiest period, with all kinds of social events and welcoming and seeing off guests.

She understood Song Yi's current situation very well. "You are the richest man in South Korea, which is equivalent to the God of Wealth in China. No matter who sees the God of Wealth, they all want to pray for wealth."

Song Yi looked at Song Jingyan meaningfully, "You are not short of money now, so are you visiting me in the hospital to seek money?"

Song Jingyan smiled, with two cute dimples on her face. "Brother Yi, money is such a good thing, who would complain about having too much? Mr. Xiong from IDG Capital asked me to ask you about the timetable for the listing of SA Soft and New Asia Network."

Song Yi was a little surprised. "Xiong Xiaoge has my contact information, why did he ask you to ask me?"

When Song Jingyan worked at IDG Capital, she personally held a small number of shares in Xinya Network. If Xinya Network prepares to go public, she will have to sell these shares to other shareholders of Xinya Network.

Like Xinya Advertising, Xinya Network's listing location is still set at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. As the largest online game company in the mainland, Xinya Network is ahead of the two major game companies, Penguin and NetEase, in terms of revenue, net profit and number of game users in the game business.

Penguin's current market value is around HK$17 billion. If New Asia Network completes its listing, its market value will be roughly equivalent to that of two Penguins, which is similar to the market value of its sister company New Asia Advertising.

Song Jingyan recalled Xiong Xiaoge's original words, "If I ask Song Yi when New Asia Network will go public, he will definitely not tell you a single truth. You and Song Yi are old friends, he would be too embarrassed to lie to you. He is not short of money now, so it doesn't matter when New Asia Network will go public, but we at IDG are short of performance. He is not in a hurry, but I am. There are only a few IPOs of this scale now, and there are too many wolves and too little meat, so please help me ask him for the exact information."

Song Yi originally introduced Song Jingyan to IDG Capital as an investment manager. Xiong Xiaoge helped Song Jingyan a lot in her work. It is reasonable for Song Jingyan to repay Xiong Xiaoge for this favor.

"Brother Yi, IDG Capital's performance last year was only mediocre. In order to attract funds from the oil tycoons in the Middle East, President Xiong recommended Xinya Network as an investment project. Whether Xinya Network chooses to go public in the first half of the year or the second half of the year will make a big difference to IDG Capital." Song Jingyan said.

Song Yi guessed why Xiong Xiaoge asked Song Jingyan to ask him about the timetable of New Asia Network. "Tell President Xiong that New Asia Network is scheduled to go public in mid-May. You can almost dispose of the New Asia Network shares you have now."

Song Yi then remembered Xu Zhuxian who had come to wish him a happy new year, and said to Song Jingyan: "Forget it, there's no need to go through so much trouble. I remember that you seem to hold a total of 100,000 shares of Xinya Network. Now Xinya Network is buying back shares from employees at $4 per share, so I'll buy them from you at this price."

Song Jingyan was surprised, because Song Yi himself was the largest shareholder of New Asia Network, holding more than 50% of the shares. Although after several rounds of financing, the Song Yi family still held more than 67% of the shares of New Asia Network. "Brother Yi, you don't need these shares, why do you buy them back from me?" Song Jingyan was puzzled.

Song Yi revealed the suspense, "Before you came, Miaomiao and Xu Zhuxian called me to wish me a happy new year. I was going to give them your shares as lucky money."

When Song Jingyan heard Song Yi casually give away shares worth $400,000 as New Year's money to children, she felt very uncomfortable.

Song Jingyan invested RMB 100,000 in New Asia Network in exchange for 100,000 shares of New Asia Network. In just a few years, New Asia Network brought her a return of RMB 3 million.

Logically speaking, she had nothing to be dissatisfied with. After all, this money was equivalent to Song Yi giving it to her for free.

But compared with Song Miao and Xu Zhuxian, she felt uncomfortable. She had invested 100,000 RMB in real money to buy shares. Song Miao and Xu Zhuxian picked up 100,000 shares of Xinya Network without any effort, and she couldn't help feeling a little unbalanced.

Song Miao is Song Yi's niece. Song Yi's elder brother Song Bo died a long time ago, and Song Yi treats Song Miao as his own daughter. If Song Yi gives all the 100,000 shares to Song Miao, Song Jingyan has no objection.

But Xu Zhuxian and Song Yi have no relatives. She just met Song Yi before he became rich. How can she get a share of millions of RMB? Song Jingyan thought of Xu Zhuxian's beautiful mother Liu Huiying. Could it be that Song Yi really had an affair with Liu Huiying, a married woman, so Song Yi treated Xu Zhuxian like a daughter?

She calmed down and said with a hint of jealousy, "Brother Yi, you are really generous to Xu Zhuxian and the others. A few million can buy a nice house in Yanjing or Puhai City. When can you be so generous to me?"

Song Yi and Song Jingyan joked, "That won't work. You're already married. If I give you millions as New Year's money, Li Yuan will definitely suspect that we're having an affair."

Song Jingyan didn't expect Song Yi to say that. She glanced at him with a blush on her face, "Bah, it's really like a dog can't spit out ivory. Who would have an affair with you? You are surrounded by beauties of the level of Jun Ji-hyun and Son Ye-jin. How could you be interested in a mediocre girl like me?"

Song Yi regretted the joke and felt that he had behaved recklessly. Song Jingyan was Song Yuxi's beloved daughter and the daughter-in-law of Attorney General Li Xiangda. He did not want to destroy the relationship between Song Jingyan and Li Yuan.

He knew that Song Jingyan might be jealous of his unprovoked preference for Xu Zhuxian, and if not handled properly, it might damage his good personal relationship with Song Yuxi's family.

"After the Spring Festival, I will go to the mainland to investigate investment projects. I will also call Zhiyi at that time. If you have time, you might as well go with us. If it is a good project like Xinya Network, you can also invest in it." Song Yi said.

When Song Jingyan heard what Song Yi said, her mood suddenly turned from gloomy to bright and she was extremely happy. Song Yi was willing to take her to the mainland to invest in projects. Wasn't that just taking her to make money? In the eyes of Koreans, Song Yi is the investment god of Korea. As long as it is an investment project he is interested in, no project will lose money, only a matter of how much money you make. Song Yi was able to earn billions of dollars before the age of 30, mainly due to two factors: excellent investment vision and strong political and business background.

Song Jingyan felt a little embarrassed now. She was jealous of Xu Zhuxian just now. It seems that she is much more important than Xu Zhuxian.

She glanced at the door of the ward and felt that no one would come to disturb him at this time. After all, Song Yi was staying in the high-end VIP ward of Suwon Asia University Hospital, where one-on-one nursing services were provided by the top medical experts and the most professional nursing team.

Song Jingyan came close to Song Yi and gave him a quick kiss on the corner of his mouth, "Thank you, Brother Yi, I knew you were the best to me."

At this time, Xia Meiai and her group had already arrived at the hospital, and Li Yuan, who had asked for the ward number, walked in front. Thinking of his newlywed wife Song Jingyan and Song Yi being alone in the same ward, Li Yuan felt a little complicated.

He deliberately didn't say hello and pushed open the door. When he saw Song Yi and Song Jingyan chatting in neat clothes, he was relieved. Perhaps because of his previous wife's betrayal, he was particularly concerned about the interaction between Song Jingyan and Song Yi.

Song Jingyan was startled when she saw Li Yuan coming in. Fortunately, Li Yuan came a few seconds late. If Li Yuan saw her kissing Song Yi on the mouth to express her gratitude, she would probably have to explain to Li Yuan for a long time.

Li Yuan saw Song Jingyan's expression and became suspicious again. "Jingyan, I heard you and Brother Yi talking and laughing before I came in just now. Did you encounter something happy?"

Song Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took Li Yuan's arm to share the good news with him. She said that Song Yi was going to take her to the mainland to investigate investment projects, and if there were good investment projects, she could also participate.

Li Yuan was slightly stunned when he heard the news. Song Jingyan is now a senior executive of the SA Bank Investment Department. It is normal for her to go to the mainland with Song Yi to inspect investment projects. In addition to Song Yi, Song Jingyan's sister-in-law Zhou Zhuyi's sister Zhou Zhiyi, as the secretary of the SA Group Board of Directors, will also go to the mainland.

But when he thought that Song Jingyan and Song Yi would be together in the mainland for several days, and they would stay in the same hotel. Zhou Zhiyi couldn't watch Song Jingyan and Song Yi all day long. What if Song Jingyan sneaked into Song Yi's room in the middle of the night?  Thank you for your monthly tickets, see you tomorrow
